Here is a useful script that Matty created. I requested it, and he gave it to me. He's allowed for this thread to be posted

What the script does is simple, it renames your contact list windows to the email address running it. Why? Because when running multiple Windows Live Messenger Instances (polygamy), things can get complicated.



The code is below, as I haven't created a plsc file for it. Please keep all credits in the script.

code:

*/

function OnEvent_SigninReady() {
    _setText();
}

function OnEvent_ContactListWndCreated() {
    _setText();
}

function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart){
    _setText();
}

function OnEvent_MessengerUnLocked(){
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('settext', 100); // Note #1
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId){
    _setText();
}

function _setText(){
    if (Messenger.MyStatus > 1 && Messenger.ContactListWndHandle != 0) {
        var _titlesize = Interop.Call('user32', 'GetWindowTextLengthW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle)+1;
        var _title = Interop.Allocate((2*_titlesize)+2);
        Interop.Call('user32', 'GetWindowTextW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, _title, _titlesize);
        Interop.Call('user32', 'SetWindowTextW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, Messenger.MyEmail + ' - ' + _title.ReadString(0));
    }
}

/*
Note #1
We do this because for some odd reason the caption is set back to Windows Live Messenger
and our title we set doesn't stay even tho the window is just hidden and shown again.
